Students from the Liepāja Karosta Music School and Tartu Valla Muusikakool worked with renowned folk music and improvisation artist Julgī Stalte, preparing for the upcoming concert “Cheers to Liepāja! Young Musicians from Tartu and Liepāja Unite in a Musical Tribute for Liepāja 400”.

From 3 to 5 April, Liepāja 2027 visited Chemnitz, Germany, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the European Capital of Culture programme together with representatives from 56 current, former and candidate Capitals of Culture.

The goal of the Youth Programme is to promote active youth participation in the development and implementation of the Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 programme

As the European Capital of Culture in 2027, Liepāja places great importance on international cooperation, and we are excited about the opportunity to strengthen our ties with Israel.

Continuing the “Liepāja Blossoms!” initiative dedicated to the city’s 400th anniversary, a Plant Exchange event will take place on Thursday, May 1, from 9:00 to 13:00 at Rose Square.

This seminar is designed for municipalities, cultural organizations, and civil society representatives interested in learning about EU programs “Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values” (CERV) and “Creative Europe” (RE) and their funding opportunities for social and cultural projects.

The exhibition will run until the end of May, gathering a selection of established and emerging artists from Liepāja and Latvia, who will reflect on pressing contemporary issues while spotlighting the potential of unconventional venues in the city as platforms for contemporary art.

The first round of the “Liepāja 2027” Community Programme has wrapped up, bringing support to 12 different projects. Launched in collaboration with Foundation “Fonds Initium” and backed by the Ministry of Culture and the British Council Representation in Latvia.

The foundation “Liepāja 2027” invites to apply for its Volunteer Programme. This initiative will continue until the end of 2027.

At the end of March, Liepāja 2027’s amazing volunteers are taking part in an unprecedented and widely resonant event in Liepāja—warmly welcoming visitors to the Great Amber Concert Hall, where the Academy Award (“Oscar”) and other prestigious accolades won by the film Straume are on display for everyone to see up close.
